A New Life [Newcomer, CLOSED] - Note - 12-01-2012
The crunch of a thin layer of leftover snow beneath Note's hooves could be heard, seemingly, all throughout the forest. He couldn't hear the soft, lulling sound of a bird's song anywhere. He walked forward, farther into the forest a few paces, then stopped abruptly. He smelled the faint smell of many, many horses.
Note's head started to swim with images of herds, and herds of horses. What if they were violent and ruthless like the stallion he had spent the first year of his life with? Or would they be simple outcasts and seclude him? He sighed and lowered his head to the ground. 'Or what if they're actually decent horses and you're overreacting..', Note thought to himself. Any of those could be the case. He pulled his head up, breaking into a strong trot. As he headed deeper into the forest, the smell of horses grew stronger. At one point, Note slowed his trot, searching for any horses, any at all. He didn't care if they were cruel, or friendly, he was going for it. He was sick and tired of living on his own, he needed to speak again, to speak to other horses and not just himself. RE: A New Life [Newcomer, OPEN] - Lynx - 12-01-2012

Note froze at the sound of thumping hooves come to a stop behind him. He slowly turned to face the horse who had come to him. He took in every bit of the new a horse, a stallion with a golden coat and a disfigured horn. He was slightly taken aback by the stallion's appearance, but didn't show it. The stallion was a truly magnificent creature, with his deformity. Note immediately had a new respect for him, to live with something like that and constantly being asked questions about it. He quickly adjusted to his presence, dipping his head slightly to the stallion, knowing he had invaded his home, Note didn't want to come off as disrespectful and indecent.
"Hello, my name is Note," He said simply and respectfully, hoping the stallion wouldn't be too angry at him for showing up randomly in the forest. RE: A New Life [Newcomer, OPEN] - Lynx - 12-01-2012

As the stallion started to ease up, Note did too. He smiled back in the same brief fashion, and watched as he started to scribble at the muddy ground.
Note walked to the patch the unicorn had been pawing at, and peered down at the picture before him. It was a speedy drawing of a lynx. He glanced up at the stallion, starting to understand more about him. "A lynx...that's your name, isn't it? Well, Lynx," Note said with a smile, "it's a pleasure to meet you." He would't dare say a word about Lynx's inability to speak, he had most likely bared enough of that in his life. Note could tell his horn went through his mouth, and that was enough for him.

As the stallion, Lynx, gestures for him, Note hesitates. He had just met this stallion, and he was expecting Note to follow him. He took a step to the stallion, a small step, but a step. Would he be making the right decision by going with him? Or was Lynx leading him to certain death?
'You're overreacting, again..' Note thought to himself. He had a terrible habit of overthinking things. After his abuse from the stallion he had spent his early years from, how could he not be? He looked up at Lynx, then took another step. And another. He continued to walk to the stallion till he was at his shoulder. He stared into his eyes, his own sharp green ones looking determined. He gave Lynx a nod, prepared to follow the golden, speechless unicorn anywhere he may lead them.
